Chapter 402 Wizards and Muggles

The expression on Sherlock's face was calm, and his voice didn't sound angry at all.

But Draco felt an inexplicable oppressive force, but the pure-blood education he had received since he was a child did not make him give in directly, but he seemed to be still tough, but he actually said it in an explaining tone.

"Wizards and Muggles have never been the same species. We are born with magical superiority, just like Muggles will feel superior when facing animals like orangutans. A Muggle would be willing to give orangutans Volunteer? This is an insult to our ethnic group! It is also an insult to the identity of a wizard!"

Sherlock didn't rush to refute Draco, or forcefully lead him into that classroom, but asked.

"Why do you draw an analogy between wizards and Muggles with Muggles and apes?"

"Because that's what my dad taught me!" Draco seemed courageous when he realized that Sherlock didn't reprimand him.

"In a family that maintains a pure-blooded wizard, the offspring are almost certainly wizards, who are born with the ability to use magic. Even if there is a low probability of a squib, the squibs still have magic in their bodies, but It’s just that you can’t use magic, which is still fundamentally different from Muggles.”

"Whether the body contains magic power is the biggest difference between wizards and Muggles. This gap is as big as the difference between orangutans and humans! Just like orangutans will never learn to speak and think like humans, Muggles It will never be possible to master magic power and learn such things as magic!"

From these words, it is enough to hear that Draco's thinking has long been distorted by Lucius. The question of whether wizards and Muggles are the same species has actually been raised in the magic world many years ago. There was some debate, and the result of the debate was that the Ministry of Magic decided the nature.

Wizards are also human beings, and Muggles are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, there is no essential difference.

Such a conclusion is of course acceptable to most people in the wizarding world. After all, half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards still account for the majority of wizards, and those families that always insist on pure blood to continue their offspring are still a minority.

But it is such a minority who actually occupy the vast majority of resources and power in the magic world.

Although the magic government has set the nature, for people of pure-blood families, this sentence is no different from farting, that is, just listen to it and hold your nose to endure the smell. After that, how should they discriminate or continue to discriminate? How to educate is still education.

Just like Draco now.

After listening to all his statements, Sherlock didn't get angry or show any dissatisfaction, but spoke seriously.

"The cognition your father taught you has been problematic from the very beginning. I won't say he is wrong, but then I hope you will listen to me carefully. My understanding of the difference between wizards and Muggles is who is right? Wrong, you judge for yourself."

"What is the most critical point that distinguishes humans from orangutans? Does a human have any ability that orangutans do not have? They both have two arms and two legs, and they are also made of flesh and bones. Such a physiological Structurally, there is a huge difference?"

"It is not the body or a certain ability that really distinguishes humans from orangutans, but the brain and thoughts. Humans also have the same natural desires as orangutans, but the difference is that humans know that such desires are bad and bad. It is beneficial to oneself but harmful to the same kind, and then it will set up rules and regulations to restrain itself."

"Some of these constraints are invisible but established by convention. We call them 'morality'. Some are visible and expressly stipulated for everyone to abide by. They are also called 'laws'. The combination of these two things is also That's what makes people social, and because of that, there's an essential difference between humans and chimpanzees and everything else, rather than a particular ability."

"And is there such a distinction between wizards and Muggles? I know that you haven't come into contact with a few Muggles since you can remember, but from the students you despised for impure blood in Hogwarts, they showed Are all of them animalistic? Or do you feel that you are different from them in terms of thinking and communication? You claim to be pure in blood, but you are with those little ones who have Muggle blood, or are completely born of Muggles. There is no difference between wizards, even when it comes to learning magic. So what is the difference between wizards and Muggles? Can you explain it yourself, Draco?"

Draco blushed, as if he felt the impact of Sherlock's words on the ideas he had always held on to.

He tried his best to refute, and after Sherlock questioned, he asked back without hesitation.

"Professor, how do you explain the difference in magic power? Only those who have magic power and can use magic are called wizards, and those who can't use it are Muggles. We have it, and they don't. This is the most essential difference! Just like you The biggest difference between humans and orangutans just mentioned is that the brain is the same as the thinking, there is no essential difference!"

Facing his question, Sherlock just asked back.

"Can a human and a chimpanzee produce a human with a brain and a mind? And can a wizard and a Muggle produce a wizard?"

Draco was speechless for a moment.

He still seemed to want to search for all the available reasons and arguments in his mind to deny Sherlock, but even if he tried to break his head, he couldn't think of a reasonable refutation.

Sherlock just looked at him quietly, giving him enough time to think, and after Draco was completely speechless, he asked another question.

"Do you know what the definition of a pure-blood family is for a wizard to be pure-blooded?"

As the future sole heir of the Malfoy family, Draco certainly remembered such a noble proof quite well.

"A person who requires both parents to count up to three generations to be a wizard can be called a pure-blood wizard."

This is a customary rule in the pure-blood circle, even the Death Eaters follow this rule to cleanse those they think are not pure-blood wizards.

After all, if this restriction is pushed to the extreme, all parents and ancestors from recorded history must be wizards to be considered pure-blood wizards, then basically the so-called pure-blood families will be enemies of more than 90.00% of the people in the magic world up.

"So the pure blood requirement is only for three generations?
"Sherlock pulled it down sharply, and Lucius kept instilling in Draco the fig leaf that wizards and Muggles belong to two different species.

"That is to say, among the people of your kind that you identify with, most of them still have blood that you despise in their bodies. Is the so-called pride of pure blood only worth these three generations?"

"Magic power is indeed something unique to wizards, but this kind of thing is not completely insulated from Muggles. As long as wizards and Muggles continue to combine and multiply, it is entirely possible that everyone in the world may become a wizard in the future. , or it can be said that the world is developing in this direction.”

"It is precisely because of this that the presence or absence of magic power cannot be used as the basis for species division. It is just a talent, a talent that can make people have more development possibilities and civilizations, and the inheritance of this talent Not limited to wizards, this is enough to prove that wizards and Muggles are the same people, and there is no essential difference between the two."

Draco fell silent, unable to think of any words to argue with Sherlock.

But even if this had reached the point where there was nothing to say, Draco did not let go of his persistence.

The belief that has been firmly believed in for more than ten years cannot be destroyed by Sherlock with a few words.

Of course, Sherlock didn't expect that he could make this spoiled young master Malfoy go back to shore just by relying on his own "talking".

People have always been very complicated creatures, and persuading a person with words is undoubtedly one of the most torturous and difficult things in the world.

So today Sherlock brought Draco here.

Although Draco was not persuaded, at least now he no longer had a reason to refuse, and went in to do volunteer work for those children.

After delaying outside the door for a while, Sherlock pushed the door with him and walked into this very simple-looking classroom.

When the door was pushed open, there were already a dozen pairs of eyes looking at them in the classroom.

Because only Mrs. Chris is in charge of this orphanage, there are not many orphans here, there are only fourteen or five orphans, the youngest of which looks to be only five or six years old, and the oldest is twelve or thirty. years old.

Now, the one who is taking care of these children in the classroom is a girl who is about the same age as Draco, but she looks only sixteen or seventeen years old on the outside. The girl's temperament and conversation are better than that of Draco. It is a child who has not yet grown up and matures a lot.

Seeing Sherlock and Draco walk in together, the girl who was directly in front of the children teaching them how to weave flower baskets was puzzled.

"Hello? May I ask who you are?"

This is actually the problem of the confusion spell. According to normal circumstances, Mrs. Chris should bring them into this classroom to introduce to the children, but because Sherlock used the confusion spell to cheat, Mrs. Chris missed it. over this matter.

Now Sherlock can only explain to the girl first.

"My name is Sherlock Forrest, and this is my nephew Draco Malfoy. We are doing volunteer work."

"Why didn't Granny Chris bring you here?" the girl asked vigilantly.

"She seemed to be in a hurry to prepare lunch. She brought us to the door and left first. If you are worried, you can go and ask first." Sherlock said.

Even if Sherlock didn't take the initiative to ask, the girl would ask first.

She called out the oldest-looking boy named "Wilson" from the children below, and asked him to look at Sherlock and the others first, and then trotted out to find Mrs. Chris.

Draco was very dissatisfied with the girl's vigilant attitude just now, he stood beside Sherlock and said in a low voice.

"She acted like we were begging to come over."

Sherlock didn't respond to his words, but patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to look in a direction in the classroom.

There was a six or seven-year-old girl with a missing front tooth. She seemed to have never seen strangers a few times, and she showed them a friendly and funny smile.

Sherlock also smiled and waved at the little girl, while whispering to Draco.

"Wouldn't you like to say hello to this lovely little girl?"

Draco folded his hands on his chest, his eyes were full of disgust, and he let out a disdainful "cut" sound, without any intention of responding.

His attitude is very aggressive, but Sherlock has no intention of forcing him. You can't expect a normal person to undergo subversive changes in just a few minutes.

Sherlock and the others didn't have to wait long, the girl trotted back to the classroom again, it was obvious that she was running very fast and didn't want to keep them waiting.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Forrest, I've confirmed with Granny Chris. My name is Haili, and I also came from this orphanage, and I'm temporarily working here as a laborer."

The little girl named Hailey seemed very polite. After confirming Sherlock's identity, she didn't care about taking a break and apologized out of breath.

Of course Sherlock didn't pay any attention to what happened just now, he blinked and asked.

"So Miss Haley, what shall we do next?"

After confirming their identities, Haili was not polite, and it seemed that she also entertained other volunteers who came to the orphanage.

"Then please help take care of the youngest children. Their hands-on ability is still relatively poor. It is best to have an adult watching beside them."

Sherlock and Draco followed Haley to the front corner of the classroom, where all the young children gathered, and it was convenient for adults to watch over them.

After arranging them, Haili went to the back to collect the crafts that the older children had already done.

Draco and the youngest, who looked like five or six years old, stared wide-eyed.

The children looked at him curiously, but he also regarded himself as arrogant and never opened his mouth.

After a while, the children felt that the big brother with pale blond hair was meaningless, and turned their heads to re-focus on how to weave the branches in their hands into flower baskets.

Draco felt humiliated, he felt that these Muggle kids were looking down on him.

Sherlock ignored Draco, who was more like a child than these children, but greeted the little girl who had smiled at them in a friendly way.

"Hello, may I meet you?"

The little girl who was weaving flower baskets raised her head, and when she saw Sherlock, she showed that harmless smile again.

"My name is Beatrice, but everyone calls me Tricey."
